Glenn Beck Suggests Donald Trump Is 1 Of The Last Male Role Models And It Doesn't Go Well

Right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck lamented the world’s lack of male role models and appeared to suggest that the void was now being filled by President Donald Trump.

Beck on BlazeTV this week bemoaned how there were “no examples of men being men” during a discussion about masculinity. He continued:

“James Bond. That’s it. A movie. There’s no male role models. Would you agree with that? So, Donald Trump, here’s a guy who marries a supermodel, is like, ‘Yeah, I can make it with any model I want.’ He’s over the top, but he fights back, he doesn’t flinch. He is the almost cartoon of an alpha dog. You know what I mean? And I think because we have taken alpha dogs and shot them all, when he comes to the table there’s a lot of guys that are out there going ‘yeah, damn right!’

I feel like Glenn beck explaining in earnest why trump is one of the last “male role models” does more to highlight how ridiculous our perceptions of gender norms are than any liberal take on toxic masculinity lol thanks Glenn https://t.co/BQoLcJLc9qpic.twitter.com/h5d3GRDDsN

.@glennbeck heard your comments about Trump being the “last male role model”. Trump is the epitome of toxic masculinity, which btw is not synonymous with plain old masculinity. There are lots of good male role models. Trump is the antithesis of that, and a warning to our youth.

If being an utterly dishonest, proudly ignorant, off the charts narcissistic bully is a role model for men, then sure, Donald Trump is a role model.@glennbeck, Donald Trump is NO role model. Gosh, I hope you understand that. https://t.co/OkrK8Io8kS

Hey @glennbeck are you high? Role models don't brag about grabbing women's genitals, lie 22 times a day as a POTUS, stoke racial animus, cozy up to murderous dictators, rant and rave against accountability, insult the media, cheat on all his wives, and pay off mistresses.
